If you suspect your pool has a leak, calling out a pool leak detection specialist in Temecula to investigate should be your first course of action. Maybe you have noticed that your pool needs to be refilled more often than normal, or you got an unusually large water bill, or you came across a wet or mushy spot near your pool or its equipment. Whatever the case may be, it’s important that take action right away! The longer you wait, the more damage could be done and the more expensive it can be to fix.
If you call our Temecula pool service company for pool leak detection, we will send someone out right away to diagnose the issue. There are several different causes of pool leaks, and it’s important to find out which one applies to your pool so it can be properly remedied.
Here are a few of the most common causes of pool water leaks:
Skimmer Leaks: A skimmer leak is common in concrete pools and often occurs at the location where the concrete and the plastic skimmer connect. Because concrete and plastic expand and contract differently in heat and cold, it’s not uncommon for gaps and cracks to show up at this connection point.
Equipment Leaks: Leaks can occur in your pool’s pump, filter, or heater, especially with the seals in older equipment.
Plumbing Issues: The pipes that connect your pool to its equipment can also leak, especially at the fittings or where pipes enter the ground.
Cracks or Tears in the Pool: In a concrete pool, cracks can occur in the concrete due to intrusive tree roots, shifting soil, or ground movement. A pool with a vinyl liner can get a tear in the liner that will allow water to escape.
The team at Aqua System can help with the repairs needed to remedy the first three causes of water leaks mentioned above (as well as some of the less common causes of pool leaks). We can fix most pool plumbing issues and equipment failures that we come across. When it comes to fixing pool equipment, we can typically make repairs at affordable rates, but on rare occasions, a piece of pool equipment may need to be completely replaced if it is beyond repair.
If the leak is coming from the pool itself—like from a crack or tear—we will refer you to another reputable, local company that is equipped to handle these types of repairs.
After the repair has been made, and your pool is refilled to the optimal level, we recommend having your water tested. If a significant amount of water was lost, the chemicals that were previously added to your pool were lost as well, and additional chemicals will need to be added. If your pool had to be completely drained to make repairs, be sure you have a pool service company in Temecula, like Aqua System, add chemicals during the refilling process so your pool doesn’t sit with untreated water.
